Message-ID: <20051102182530.73360.qmail@web50815.mail.yahoo.com> Tony, I downloaded fasterfox, but had a problem. Here at work, my homepage is the front page of the company's intranet. This is tricky, because I can't just send you a link so you can see the page... anyway. One area of the intranet homepage is frame that randomly displays one of about eight images, a different one whenever you bring up the page. I know I'm not describing this too well, sorry. It's like, one image is the company logo and a graphic that says "401K," and if you click on it it takes you to the HR department's info page on the 401K program, etc. Others take you to the photo gallery from the company picnic; the page to order discount theme park tickets, etc. So once I loaded fasterfox, the intranet home page continuously loads through these images, and just keeps cycling through them in a loop. It doesn't stop after it's loaded each one once. So I tried uninstalling fasterfox, and it still does it even without the extension! I tried rebooting the system, but there's no change. If I re-download fasterfox and disable prefetching will it stop doing this? Please let me know - thanks.

This problem is probably caused due to Fasterfox attempting to prefetch the "logout" link. Fasterfox is programmed to only prefetch static pages such as those which end in .htm, .html, .gif, .jpg, etc. This causes most dynamic pages such as logout links to be ignored because they usually have a dynamic extension such as .asp, .jsp, .php, no extension at all, etc. More info: http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/faq.html#Can_prefetching_mess_things_up However, although this practice is avoided by most web developers, it is possible that RT's logout link is called something like log_out.htm that looks benign to Fasterfox. There are a couple of potential solutions: 1. If you could copy/paste the hyperlink of the logout button, I could hardcode it to be ignored and release a minor update within a couple days. 2. I am working on a user customizable "whitelist" feature to list sites that should not be prefetched; RT could be a default on this list. This feature probably will not be available for about a month.

After loading all sorts of pages with both dynamic and static links and content, I've concluded that enhanced prefetching does not actually use any bandwidth to prefetch pages. I've let it sit for up to a minute on different pages after they have loaded (each with 20 - 100 static links) and activity monitor and menumeters both do not report any bandwidth being used. Clicking on those links doesn't yield any faster load times either. I have tried Fasterfox on turbo settings and the custom setting to make sure prefetching is on, and no luck.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to an OS X machine on which to test Fasterfox, and according to the results of your experiment, it sounds like it is possible that prefetching doesn't work on OS X (although I can't imagine why). Here is a site that really goes crazy on prefetching for me: http://xulplanet.com/references/elemref/ You can also see exactly what was prefetched by typing "about:cache" in the URL bar and viewing the disk cache. If you don't notice any activity when clicking the link below, and your cache doesn't show any extra pages cached, then I will definitely have to seek out an OSX machine on which to run some tests and get this working there.

I would love to use the extension however, when I do, I encounter huge rendering problems. These happen when I change the settings to anything other than default. The bulk of the problems lie in that on sites like engadget.com not all the pictures will load and they will just sit there empty boxes for all eternity. All while firefox still says it is working. I find that the most common pictures that will not load are one near the bottom of long pages. Linked below is a screen shot of a what happens. Please, please find the time to fix the rendering problems with fasterfox, I could really like to continue to use it. I'm using version 1.07.

Message-ID: Hi there, I have a simple question: Does Fasterfox load PHP pages? I did read the FAQ here: http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/faq.html and it is pretty clear that "Fasterfox further limits prefetching such that only files with the extension .gif, .htm, .html, .jpeg, .jpg, .pdf, .png, .text, .txt, and .xml are prefetched." I ask a question with a fairly obvious answer because of a concern I have with matchmaking and social networking sites that keep track of who visits who. For instance, friendster recently initiated the function where you can see who views your specific profile. My concern is that if you visit your friends or profile bookmarks pages, I don't want Fasterfox to load all of them up because it will ping them each time and show you've viewed their profiles. Friendster and many match making sites use PHP, and thus the root to my question. Thanks for the great utility, this is by far and wide one of the better ones ever.

Message-ID: <000001c5e21f$18c4c760$210110ac@dragon> Cool Idea. great in theory, but um, maybe you should lower the number of connections per server. In fact, I think most servers only allow 2 simultaneous connections per IP (or host, or mac, . depends on the security). You might want to stop offending site administrators by lowering the number of simultaneous connections to one base URI (or server). Perhaps if you scheduled these "extra connections" through a proxy you might lower the chance of offending SA's. But then you'd probably lower the speed of FasterFox. Btw, a good place to give your product a "whirl" would be images.google.com. Bet all those sites would start prefetching hella.. Oh, and why we're on the topic of prefetching, and maybe I should have read the docs, but exactly how deep does your precatching go? Do you dl links to links to links? Or do you do a breadth depth prefetching mechanism. Let me know? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Fasterfox uses Firefox's built in caching mechanism. Therefore when you clear Firefox's cache, you are also clearing anything that may have been prefetched by Fasterfox. A neat tip to view your cache is to type "about:cache" in the URL bar and click the Disk Cache. If that shows no files, then you are clean :) Regards, Tony -----Original Message----- From: fasterfox-bounces@mozdev.org [mailto:fasterfox-bounces@mozdev.org] On Behalf Of Fred Olmstead Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 10:07 AM To: fasterfox@mozdev.org Subject: [Fasterfox] fasterfox file shred question Hi Tony, This question may have already been asked or may not pertain, but...

However, in regards to dynamic pages, I don't think this is ever really a good idea. First of all, even if certain dynamic pages are safe, others may perform an action like logging out or emptying a shopping cart. The risk in prefetching pages like this is just too high. Secondly, most dynamic pages are set to reload every time from the server and never load a cached version. This means that even if it were prefetched, Firefox would still request a new one from the server. Good idea, and let me know if you come up w/ other things.

My theory on prefetching is that I have a certain amount of bandwidth available to me and I want to get the most out of it. Why let it sit idle when it could be used to potentially speed up my surfing? You are right that some websites don't appreciate this "selfishness", for instance, one popular French hardware website recent banned Fasterfox users. However, I think this is mostly due to the prefetching, and not the increased simultaneous connections (lots of people configure their browser for simultaneous connections even w/o Fasterfox). As far as your prefetching question goes, it does not do links of links. It only attempts to prefetch the static content (e.g. .htm, .gif, etc.) on the page you are currently browsing.

I haven't noticed this problem before. Fasterfox's current behavior is to attempt to prefetch ALL of the links on a site; apparently there were so many links on this page that the script timer timed out. In the next version, I will pick a maximum number of links to attempt to prefetch, something like 100 links per page (I doubt prefetching more than this really does any good anyway).

Other pages are the same way. But if I use custom settings, and turn on the options by hand, things work, though not noticeably faster (I have nominal 1536 kb/s download DSL). Even using the Default or Courteous setting makes Fire unusable (spins uselessly on pages). Using the custom settings, I tried the prefetch test of http://xulplanet.com/references/elemref/, then examined memory and disk cache using about:cache. I counted only 7 xulplanet.com links in disk and memory cache. So I'm not convinced prefetching is working correctly for me.

The way translations work in Mozilla is that a folder is created for each language containing all of the phrases in the extension. Fasterfox has a folder for 11 different languages. Firefox then chooses the proper language to display based on the locale of your machine. Since there is no Greek translation, it has to pick another language. I'm confirming this now with some experts at the babelzilla website, but since the German locale is called de-DE, and is 1st alphabetically, I'm guessing that it just defaults to the first alphabetically. Hopefully there is a way to default it to English. If you can, please check one thing for me: 1. Type "about:config" in the URL bar 2.

I have an AMD 3000+ Athlon, 512MB Ram and a 1MB cable broadband connection. I have had mixed feelings about this extension, somtimes it seems to slow my web page loading >20s and some times it seems to load everthing superfast. As fast as <100ms. This could be due to the prefeching control. The "Optimised" settings seems to be faster than the "Turbo charged" setting. why is this? This extension has got huge potential but more end user control is needed. I appreciate the need for simplicity but different setting are needed for different connections. I see you have realised this with the customs settings but there is no way of controling the prefech function apart from turing it on and off. I would like to see this prefech fuctiion developed futher - I have a few Ideas........... 1) More enduser control is needed for the prefech function. e.g alowing the user to specifiy their own desired settings. - How much data can be downloaded per page Or the amount of links to load - The delay in which the prefech fuction kicks in. e.g How long after the page has loaded. - Control over what is preloaded. e.g No Java or Java script to be downloaded - the end user should be able to decide. 2) The prefech functiion should stop, to give up all available bandwith to tabs loading in the back ground. I think you have done this already. 3) Maybe a seperate cache could be ceated ONLY for data that has been downloaded by the prefech fuction, which the data could flow to FireFox main disk cache once viewed, so it would be compatable with the "fast back" feature in FireFox 1.5. Please send me your comment and thoughts on this, I do have a LITTLE background in Electronics and Computing as I am studying them as a first year in uni.

However I am concerned about not having any way of choosing which language to install as it for some reason chooses german every time I install it, no matter what I try to do in order to prevent it from doing so. I am guessing that the problem is related to me living in Sweden and the fact that you don't have a Swedish language pack as of yet. Since I barely know german at all, I would at least prefer the extension to automaticly choose english when it cannot determine which language to choose (when the locale isn't recognized). Another way to go is a language option in the extension itself... or ways to download a language pack or something from your website. Hope you can solve my problem!

In-Reply-To: <20051112100354.BDDCA1CE309@ws1-6.us4.outblaze.com> Message-ID: Hi Joseph, Thanks for the email. Fasterfox and Firetune do tweak a lot of the same settings. So installing Fasterfox may override some of the settings that Firetune configured. Fasterfox does have additional features that Firetune does not, such as the ability to prefetch links. Feel free to give it a try, if you notice a speed-up, keep using it. If you don't notice any speed improvement, uninstall it and your Firetune settings should be restored.

I then visited the www.pringles.com/kong web site to enter a code - this used flash plugins. I got the toolbar option to install it, I accepted the eula and installed it. However, the Macromedia flash plugin refused to work. This is due to a bug/feature in fasterfox. -- If I uninstall firefox, del all reg and program remnants and do a full reinstall and go to the site BEFORE installing faster fox then flash installs and works correctly. Even if I install fasterfox afterwards, flash continues to work. Something about fasterfox is blocking/corrupting the installation of flash. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has made most of the sites I browse on a regular basis a lot quicker to render on the screen. One feature of your extension that caught my eye in particular was the page load timer. I do a lot of performance testing on websites, and one tool that I use quite extensively for this is IBM's Page Detailer Basic. What it does is breaks down each HTTP items loading times so you can see things like DNS lookup times, server response times and content delivery times. It also tracks each HTTP items file size which is great for keeping an eye on image bloat, as well as seeing just how much HTTP compression is saving. However there are two very large drawbacks with this program, and they are that it only works with Internet Explorer (The only thinng I use IE for now is this), and there is absolutely no way to export results to a report for spreadsheet or similar analysis. I was just wondering if there would be any chance of you ever considering adding this kind of functionality to the FasterFox extension?

(I use 'Permit Cookie' extension to give me better control over which cookies to accept & have 'ask every time' set in options). I guessing it's due to the 'enhanced prefetching' of fasterfox You state on your webpage that it will prefetch .gif, .htm, .html, .jpeg, .jpg, .pdf, .png, .text, .txt, and .xml files. Would it be possible that on the next version - we (the users) have the oppotunity on WHICH files to prefetch. Maybe you can add an option under 'custom' that allows us to disable each type that we wouldn't like to prefetch - I can then disable 'txt' & (hopefully) I won't keep getting the cookie question popping up each time I use a search engine Many thanks on a great extension - keep up the good work _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters From upload at custhelp.com Wed Nov 16 07:53:32 2005 From: upload at custhelp.com (upload@custhelp.com) Date: Thu Nov 17 16:48:24 2005 Subject: [Fasterfox] Your product has been added to Download.com Message-ID: <17604288.1132156412069.JavaMail.app@c10-x-tools3.cnet.com> Hello, We are delighted to inform you that our editors have selected Fasterfox to be listed on CNET Download.com.

They say its because of the prefetch thing? I understand it a litthle now because i read the FAQ. but heres my question: If I select CUSTOM to disable the ENHANCED PREFETCH what setting will i have? (what's the default settings for the CUSTOM options) you see i don't understand a thing about the settings (pipelining, max connections, etc) so i will only rely on the turbo charge settings to speed up my browsing. the thing is, I want to disable prefetching so i have to select custom. hope you understand me... in short: CUSTOM - uncheck prefetch = Turbo Charge minus prefetch? if no then what values should i use in the settings for custom?

Message-ID: <4475e7190511211703w32aa845cw@mail.gmail.com> Hi there, Firstly, great extension, really like it, its default settings have sped up Firefox tremendously. I'm on the SFx+ panel that for the past 2 months have been working on a completley new and improved SpreadFirefox.com! This is a complete secret so urge and stress you to keep this quiet, but something that we are looking at is Add on packs. I am working on a generic pack which would seriously promote and distribute extensions, and this extension is in consideration. I stress maybe, and it is dependent on improvements in area's that need it. Some research and testing has been done and the following are area's concluded to need improvement from feedback: 1. Options. The extension un-necessarily adds itself into the main options screen which is not needed. The main options screen is reserved for things strictly to do with common everyday browser options and this clutters it un-necessarily. It is an extension and extensions belong in the extension manager which neatly manages extensions, and this should be the case in the majority of circumstances. Options for extensions are catered for here directly as intended and to be consistent for users, but here it is blocked, and is un-necessarily stuck deep into the browser, its main options, which is inconsistent, not necessary, confusing to some users, and even not found. Extension options are catered for and expected in the extensions manager and here for no good reason they are not. The default settings work fantastically all credit to you. Therefore however, this is fine for the majority of users, and power users or users wishing to make adjustments are free to do so in the extension manager options provided. 2. Status bar entry. This can rightly be turned off which is great. However, once turned off it cannot be turned on again. This is the kind of option that normally appears in an extensions options, via the extension manager. Also, with the status icon on, it over rides and blocks some other status bar entries, such as the extension "browse images" for example. Also with it turned off, it leaves behind a seperator bar next to other remaining status bar icons such as from other extensions like "IEtab", and general other browser status bar icons. I hope you take the above seriously but in good faith as they are intended. The extension is very very good and liked by most whom tested the extension for this area, the above 2 points are the only area's needing improvement generally speaking for Firefox, and if it is to be promoted and included in a Add on pack it is likely to be necessary. I look forward to hearing back from you, and hopefully we can really improve and promote this extension to many new audiences, that is deserved! Again, well done on a terriffic extension! ;) Kind Regards. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Not only does it hog available http connections on websites, it uses more bandwidth than a user should be given ($2/gb is my excess rate, and with people downloading 10mb instead of 50kb .), it severely distorts traffic analysis and realistically, if 1000 people hit a sites with it at the same time they would literally be dos'd off the internet. Before anyone suggests bigger/better hardware, most sites don't *need* bigger/better hardware to support their *actual* traffic, and why should they (or I) shell out hundreds of dollars a month on load balancing and additional servers *purely* so Fasterfox users can waste my bandwidth. I do not want to 'ban' people detected with Fasterfox, but if a compromise can't be set quickly before Fasterfox becomes 'a big problem' that is agreeable to website owners, such as a txt file placed in the website that tells the users' Fasterfox not to prefetch (exactly like robots.txt) I will have no choice but to implement scripting that bans anyone detected using it. Frankly, I wouldn't even be particularly happy with an exclusions standard being used. It means I have to check up to see what other harmful ideas are being embraced by the ignorant masses, and then waste time ensuring I'm protected. I would really prefer it if no links were prefetched, and the user could 'flag' links as they read the page. That way they're only prefetching content they are actually going to be reading. As it stands, with 25,000 downloads a week, in about 3 months I'll block Firefox completely from all of my sites. The add ons being heavily praised and installed are designed with purely selfish reasoning that is nothing more than an attack on website owners - block ads, steal content and waste bandwidth. Call me mad, but I don't know why you think website owners will tolerate this destructive attitude long-term. I'm sure it's not Firefox's intent to alienate website owners, but that is going to happen steadily if the developers can't put a little more thought into the ramifications of the work they're releasing. Thank you. Ben -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The load increase is a problem for some because of the default Turbocharged setting profile. The Optimized setting should be the default, with perhaps the Turbocharged removed completely. It's not fair on hosts (I could just say screw them cos I'm not a host and they should get more bandwidth - but I need to use those sites - and also I know bandwidth is expensive). It's also not fair to users who just need stuff to work without getting banned from places. It adds a level of hassle for users to have to change the default or they may stop using it completely if it has caused them problems (and we don't want that to happen!).

On machines with a lot of RAM, increasing this leads to a great performance gain. Perhaps on your machine, it is better to let Firefox default this value. I would recommend choosing the option you want to use, then selecting the "Custom" option and changing the "Memory Cache Capacity" to "-1". Let me know if that helps.

Firefox will go over your maximum cache size if it has to (or if it's being stupid). There really is no need to adjust it all the time. Also, Fasterfox does allow you to customize the settings. Select Courteous, then select Custom. Now everything should be on the Courteous settings, but you can change what you want to. -- Replace the point in my email address with a period to reply. ;-) From root at cyberdark.net Sat Nov 26 13:24:15 2005 From: root at cyberdark.net (=?iso-8859-1?Q?David_Fern=E1ndez?=) Date: Wed Nov 30 00:34:08 2005 Subject: [Fasterfox] Prefetching Question Message-ID: <015101c5f284$512a51e0$0200a8c0@cyberdark> Hi Ny name is David and I ride an online shop (tienda.cyberdark.net). I've noticing problems with users that have Fasterfox installed. The problems is this: I have "dynamic urls", let's see, URLs that seem to be static (http://tienda.cyberdark.net/a-feast-for-crows-a-song-of-ice-and-fire-4-n247 0.html) but that are, in fact, php scripts that take some part of the request url (2470) and look in the database for the sheet of the book, via Mod_rewrite. Is a very convenient way to make good urls for search engines. All my site is made this way. When a user with Fasterfox cames, downloads almost the whole page, sending dozens of request to my server, that, as I said before, are dynamic, not static, making a high load on my server :( I know, maybe I shouldn't use .html extension for these kind of pages, but is very convenient. I'd suggest and update on fasterfox for it to be able to recognise some kind of meta-tag that could make webmasters disable fasterfox on the website the user is visiting.

Please uninstall it (and perhaps add a comment to the FasterFox page . If you are not running it, you *are* running some sort of poor extension that pre-fetches pages that it shouldn't (ones without a 'link' marker). Once you have done this, you can re-load this page. Note that if you do not remove the rogue program, you will continue to see this message occasionally. If everyone did this, it could easily quadruple the load on our server. --------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PC Today is one of the best selling computer magazine in Spain and is published every two weeks. It's been 5 years since our launch and we have planned some special contents for our readers. Amongst these contents we're planning to include a special CD with the best freeware and shareware programs available. This is a very special occasion for us, as we do not use to include software with our magazine. We rely solely on our editorial contents to sell the magazine and that makes this CD and its contents a unique giveaway. We plan to include this CD in PC Today's N.135, which will be on sale on December, 15th. This CD will be enclosed with every PC Today's N. 135 issue at no additional cost and the planned circulation is 50.000 issues. In that number we'll also include some editorial pages explaining how to use some of the selected programs. Since yours is one of the chosen applications, we'd like to get your permission so we can include Fasterfox in this CD. Please, we need your answer as soon as possible, since the CD must be finished by next week in order to enclose it on time. Thanks in advance.

All the tabs for tweaking Fasterfox are gone. I tried all the latest updates for Fasterfox. Nothing works. Went back to version 0.7.9. This change in options has occurred in the past 24 hours. I'm running FF 1.5 beta 2. Thanks.

In-Reply-To: <20051126104001.9438.qmail@web50414.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Hi Adam - What is the standard practice here? The reason the max version is set to 1.5 right now, is that I like to be able to test it and make sure there are no known bugs before claiming the extension is compatible with a given version. If I were to simply increase the max version to support the trunk build, it may or may not work depending on what changes were made in that build. Keeping up with testing each nightly build could be quite a drain. In the meantime, can you edit the XPI and increase the max version yourself, or am I missing something else here? Regards, Tony _____ From: fasterfox-bounces@mozdev.org [mailto:fasterfox-bounces@mozdev.org] On Behalf Of Adam Lau Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2005 4:40 AM To: fasterfox@mozdev.org Subject: [Fasterfox] Builds For Firefox TRUNK? FlashGot & AdBlock+ both work with the latest nightly TRUNK builds. All that is missing for me is FasterFox. Any plans to crunch a build which works with Firefox nightly TRUNK builds (FasterFox works with latest BRANCH builds as of 2005-11-26)? One would hope that FasterFox should be made to work with the fastest of the available Firefox builds: TRUNK and third-party TRUNK builds. Adam Lau Public @Yahoo! _____ Yahoo!

The reason (just checked): Opera will show the next side in history as soon as OnMouseDown, while Firefox will not show it until OnMouseRelease. Try to load 5 pages consecutively in one tab and then press the back button (got a spare one on my mouse for that) 5 times to get to the first page. You'll notice the difference between Firefox and Opera.
